I’m curious about how people go about finding a niche or a style for their photography. I’ve heard people say that they just photograph things they’re passionate about and over time a style develops. Is that how it works for you?
For myself, I don’t think I have a style or a niche. I’m not particularly worried about developing one or the other, I’m just a hobbyist. I shoot what I want and how I want to, sure, but there isn’t really any consistency with it. I’ve never had a moment where I said to myself (for example) “I want to be an automotive photographer!” While I might photograph a variety of things (generally objects, I find working with people tedious at best) I guess I’m just not passionate enough about any one genre of ‘thing’ to make that my niche.
yes 100%
Sounds like you are developing a style by photographing objects. Worked for Andy Warhol.
Best wishes.
There you are, then. What do you want us to say?
you learn by taking pics in the different styles…
personally, i prefer macro and photographing birds of prey… 😉
